[Emacs-orgmode] Status of Org-mode in GNU Emacs

[Carsten Dominik]

The version of Org-mode in GNU Emacs is now in feature freeze.  Richard 
Stallman has asked me to stop making major changes, and to limit myself 
to safe bug fixes.  Apparently they will start or have started a 
pretest phase which supposedly will result in a release 22.1 soon.  
Lets hope that this is not wrong hopes, and that there soon will be a 
release.

Obviously, I do want to have a stable and well-tested version of org.el 
in that Emacs.  So if anyone still has outstanding issues that could be 
termed a bug, please let me/us know soon.  Also, if there are people 
using an Emacs from the CVS head, please let me know if there are any 
problems with the org.el in that tree.  I still have a few minor fixes 
that will be org-mode 4.09, but apart from that no major problems are 
know to me.

If there are good ideas for new features, those will start a new branch 
of org-mode, but will not reach Emacs 22 (unless that release becomes 
delayed again).
